Mike Huckabee Slams Natalie Portman For 'Child Out Of Wedlock'
Mike Huckabee was not celebrating for Natalie Portman as she accepted her
Best Actress Oscar on Sunday night -- he was passing moral judgments.
During her speech, Portman thanked "Black Swan" co-star turned fiance
Benjamin Millepied for "the most wonderful gift," -- their baby, due later
this year. Huckabee took issue with that statement, and the entire premise
of her pregnancy, in an interview with conservative radio host Michael
Medved on Monday.
After a set up from Medved saying that most wonderful gift should have been
"a wedding ring," Huckabee slammed the star actress -- and then all single
mothers.
You know Michael, one of the things that's troubling is that people see
a Natalie Portman or some other Hollywood starlet who boasts of, 'Hey look,
you know, we're having children, we're not married, but we're having these
children, and they're doing just fine.' But there aren't really a lot of
single moms out there who are making millions of dollars every year for
being in a movie. And I think it gives a distorted image that yes, not
everybody hires nannies, and caretakers, and nurses. Most single moms are
very poor, uneducated, can't get a job, and if it weren't for government
assistance, their kids would be starving to death and never have health care
. And that's the story that we're not seeing, and it's unfortunate that we
glorify and glamorize the idea of out of children wedlock.
You know, right now, 75 percent of black kids in this country are born
out of wedlock. 61 percent of Hispanic kids -- across the board, 41 percent
of all live births in America are out of wedlock births. And the cost of
that is simply staggering.
Huckabee, an arch-religious conservative, may have been playing to his base
as he potentially works to test the waters for another Presidential run,
certainly won't win any awards from Hollywood for that one.
